The Actor
An unforgettable cinematic odyssey.
Directed by Duke Johnson
Produced by Waypoint Entertainment, Innerlight Films
A disorienting psychological mystery about fractured identity and the unreliability of memory, set in a 1950s small town where reality itself becomes unstable.
Paul Cole finds himself stranded in a mysterious small town with no memory of who he is or how he got here. As bits and pieces of his past slowly emerge, he attempts to find his way home, but time is slippery, appearances can't be trusted, and it's unclear which of his identities is real.
